My wife made it home from her work and checked in on him and he was still alive at 1:15 p.m. She provided him with a couple of carrots and a dish of water as well as took the recycling container off of him to alleviate the heat.

The poor thing never ate a corrot or took a drink of water and just died while I was on the phone with my wife and she was checking on him. Still no word from the Animal Control Officer as to when he may show up and help out.

Now, onto the task of getting his useless ass fired for being a useless freak.

Chinchilla is alive and well. Animal Control Officer showed up and when he went to pick up the chinchilla (by the way, confirmed that it is a chinchilla) the little guy started moving. So we provided him with a cardboard box, some lettuce, the aforementioned carrots and a dish of water. The officer said that the chinchilla was pretty badly beat up but that he was "quite far from death's door" and was actually petting the chinchilla with his bare-hand since he was equally convinced that he was free of rabies or any other disease. He believed that will a little TLC at the vet he even knew someone who would adopt the chinchilla.

On a sad note for other pets, he said that over the past couple of years, he's seen quite a few cases like this where someone abandons a pet and in some cases they are not just cats or dogs, lots of creatures like ferrets, exotic birds, chinchillas, etc. And this is just the latest.

Thank God Howie didn't kill him and this little guy who was probably just looking for a bite to eat last night will have a second chance at a good life.

Just getting caught up on this thread after being in a meeting, I saw the one where he died and got all choked up in my office, then I read where he was a live and still got choked up. I think it's time to go....

I saw a bunch of other bunnies chasing each other and engaging in other types of rabbit courtship. Amorous bunch.

Earlier in the day I watched a whole flock of geese waddle across Rockville Pike & Twinbrook, and to my total amazement, everyone stopped and waited for them even though it was the peak of Friday afternoon Rockville trafficpocalypse. I gave one of the women who sat there blocking traffic through at least two light cycles a big thumbs up.

This happens to me at least once a week on Montgomery Village Avenue. You just wish the damn things would move smartly across and get it over with, but they have to pose and strut and his at the cars, acting all bad. And crap.
